Not just a “business” but my love and life for the last 4 years. The Biscuit Maker has been in business for 14 years and I would love to see it stay for 100 more. I have a new love in my life and his name is Nash. I just can not give this restaurant 100% of myself anymore. So we have finally decided to sell it and see it go to someone who will take of it. Please contact me if you are interested @JasperPickensCountyGA. Thank you!
